Resentment is the same as pissing on yourself, you’re the only one who feels it. Forgiveness is the same as, do it for yourself.

This is a powerful message. Loved this movie.

I’ve wished to find the recording of the song at the end, forever! Anyone know?❤️😊

"Maybe Victor was possessed by the spirit of Jim Thorpe" 💯🥺 😂 greatest athlete ever recorded

I am not Native American, neither American, but the film struck me right away. My father was always there physically - but hardly ever there emotionally; he had barely survived WWII, married the lady who became my mother - and at times (when they were fighting and things started to fly) I wished they would have divorced ... Many years later, I forgave both ... I understood that their shortcomings were in part a result of the impacts of WWII, and that there is another part, i.e. it woudl have been their responsibility to deal with those impacts in order not to pass them on or take them out on their child, on me. It's not their fault that they grew up amidst WWII - but it would have been their responsibilty to deal with the aftermath ... I watched Smoke Signals 3 times (at least) ... I forgave them - which doesn't mean the damage is undone, I hold no more grudge.

I went to a Native American school, and our women’s basketball team went to the Regional Semi Finals of the State playoffs and played a Bishop school that they have never beaten before. That Bishop school only existed for 15-20 years and have like 10 State Championships, and they’d knocked our girls team out of the playoffs 9 times since 2010. Our girls finally beat them by 5 and everyone from our tribe posted the “It was the Indians vs the Christians that day, for at least one day the Indians won” quote. Our girls went on to win the State Championship. This happened 2 weeks ago

When a native team wins the state basketball tournament 😎

Thomas was a true friend. A brother . Beautiful poem. ⚘⚘⚘😥🦋

Well is victor is going to be homeless forever?

the inimitable Gary Farmer in one of my favorite roles

I love that prophecy with its thought provoking questions. Great scene.

Love this movie. This scene for me cemented that it was a Classic and always would be. This is a flawlessly written movie.

The storytelling in this movie is… wow! I love the editing. How it cuts back and forth in his story. He says in the end that he missed the shot but it’s how his dad remembers it. Just like how Thomas exaggerates in his stories. How the story is told is how they remember it. I like that.

Can you send me the song link with the solo

Even Adam's lost in the barren, great movie

Never being silent

The last sentence in the movie was poignant. "If we forgive our fathers, what is left?" When we let go of the pain, we can also move forward in our lives.

Who wrote this. This spoke to my heart.

I watched this 2 weeks before my dad died. We were not speaking at the time. This hit deep

This is by far the most powerful ending to any movie I have seen!

god dude i have a such a crush on this lady

I don’t know how me and my sperm donor’s story will end, i ended it but i don’t know if it really ended or not this story is very similar what happened with him, fled from the family and went to arizona part of the reason i hate that forsaken state

Powerful! ❤️‍🩹

Do you ever wonder if you dad / parent is secretly proud of you. That when their fare away they reminisce about your time together. Do you ever wonder if the anger and disappointment you think your parent feels is not actually how your parent feels about you.

I'm not coming back if I facked up. I know hells waiting for me cause I am a father. I want best for my kids and I hope I can be theirs

I was the new kid at school when the teacher put this on. Everyone had to act too cool for the movie but something about this movie man... i loved it.

It would have such a different America if the natives owned their lands.

Check out Bill Paragan, Broken Walls. Creator Jesus is our answer friends

I acknowledge his wisdom Like a library, Taken petulantly, Forthright as if attacked, Because it disrupted my volition, Me, I helped as I could Frustrating child, As I always was Good books bad books Making up my story My headaches My poison My escapes, My camouflage ability Holding on, the scream let it go, I found my resume full of endurance, Full of passion with unskilled practice, Unpined opinions Because my voice speaks Differently I'm an eyeball Full of knowledge, Reading response, I've seen Anxiety running through my body, Sudden flash of lightning, Lashing out at shadows, Longing to forget Adrenaline injection, Smoke filling my head Till I can't breath I enjoyed those calm moments, Lessons, learned quietly Working silently, Sometimes blind kindness, Sometimes screaming, from Perhaps another time, Another father working the line My footsteps leading me on Different paths, in directions Unexplored As if I was Free, in measured moments, My fragile memories My dream balance, threatening to shatter Swimming I'm always Swimming Across the ever changing ocean, I'm never lost or found, Because anything else would be to much

Such a beautiful moment in the film and the music holds it so powerfully.

One of my truly favorite movies. Smoke Singles. Each us to forgive and let go of our hurt and anger.

But by me looming in her eyes to say she won. Then my job was done

Whst the hardest is I never got a chance to give my kid a name before he left

"He had this look in his eye, he was mean."

Both my parents died ten years apart then I asked myself what is left but loneliness I learned that

Suzie looking like Selena RIP hot 🔥 and gary farmer like her dad

I revisit every Father's Day. I hope mine is at peace.

I'm posting this on father's day on Facebook. Certain people need to see it.

Forgive our mothers too.

This part in the movie always brings tears

Vince Ross...Niinah Jeezus namesake kiddo..🤙

Michael who??

That ending touched my soul deeply. I always come back to watch it, because it moves me so. It makes me think about my grown son, and I wonder how he feels feels about his, now dead, father. The part about forgiving your father for marrying or not marrying your mother....that's a heavy morsel to ponder. Just think about that concept, finally recognizing that your father was just a man trying to do the best he could. He is not some giant, untouchable object on a pedestal to fear and wonder at. Your father was just a guy. Making things up as he went along. Moms too. When you get to the age where you finally see your parents as fallible human beings, it's a revelation. But then you can start to forgive them,, aka maybe have some peace in your life

ulali- wah jhi le yihm. Listen to them sing if you get a chance, it is part of the background music. What a beautiful primal yell of grief Adam Beach did. Unforgettable scene.

Lifelong process. For me it's been about praying and waiting for the grace needed to show mercy to honor their memory simply as parents and do my best to forget the injuries. Leave final judgement to Most Holy Trinity. Only God, our Creator, knows the whole story. The Native American warrior cry at scattering ashes to the wind while dramatic, burial seems better than littering human remains into fresh water. We all return to dust eventually...unless become fossilized.

For shuttin' doors; for speakin' through walls, or never speakin'... or never being silent.....

It is an outright travesty that this film has not been restored and released on Blu Ray. A true classic that explores the perceptions around Indigenous culture, generational trauma, and the importance of traditions.

Funny how this single scene is probably the most power dialogue ever put on film. Don't need any Hollywood BS. Just some real Indians.

My dad passed many years ago, but its still fresh in my mind. I was in college at the time when he was on his death bed in Mexico. I ask my professor if I could take my finals the week after and he said no. I stayed and did my finals and passed but so did my dad. I feel a lot of guilt and remorse for not being there by his side. We're birthday twins so it makes it hard every year... I just hope that he can forgive me....

Such a great movie! A real classic!
